Is this a good build for gaming ?

[wakatunie]

Hi, I am new to the forum and i was wondering if this build is good for the price( I am canadian so in canadian curency) 2788.60 $ whith taxes 

 

[Entropy.]

Er, I wouldn't say per se. There's a few issues, the main ones are listed below. 

 

1. SFF for somebody who hasn't built a pc before can be quite difficult. 

2. You're overpaying for your components (yes, I know you're in Canada)

3. In general, the build is alright but across the board you could have quite a few improvements. That AIO isn't great, that ram isn't that good and is overpriced, you shouldn't have that CPU/GPU combo for that budget.
4. "Good" Is subjective. A rx580 and a i3-10100 is "good" to some people, to others it isn't. If you're talking about list quality, It's alright. If you're talking in my opinion for the price? Not really.

What do you plan to do with the build *Specifically?* Do you have any criteria/constraints (E.G, I need a case _ small, or I need at least _ of ram for _ reason), and finally, What's your budget Pre-Tax for the components? I can make you a list on pcpartpicker (a website that compiles all the components needed for a pc build, and lets you select them)

I plan on gaming with this pc, a bit of Editing and streaming. the settings i plan gaming on are 1440p 70 fps. constraints: 16go of ddr4 3200 or 3600 ( 2 x 8 sticks), compatibiliti whit gpu and cpu to come in the futur, a case with great airflow. an  mini itx case would be cool. 2500$ max

Have I done this before?

The dark rock pro 4 isn't the best performer for the price. I'd reccomend the Sycthe fuma 2.

3200mhz cl16 memory should be cheaper, and why the rgb? 

The B550m pro 4 is very 'meh' Not to mention it's micro atx, but you're suggesting a ATX case. I'd get a b550-a pro

The crucial p1 has poor write speeds and a bad controller iirc. I'd get a Mx500, a2000, or a cs3030. 

The RTX 3070 trio is nice but something like the 3070 TUF should outperform it for less. 

You don't need a 750w psu for something like this. 

[wakatunie]

so all the same parts as before minus all the news one you talked about .

 

and what does that mean ......... You don't need a 750w psu for something like this.........

 This should be quite a bit better for about 1000 less. I can make a list for 1000 more, If you wanted, Just wanted to present the option of a cheaper build. For intel having 3200mhz ram for the cpu shouldn't make much of a difference if at all, but It's easily within reach if you'd like.

Basically it's wasting money on power that you don't need. You could technically get it but it won't help you out until you want to upgrade quite a while down the line, I'd suppose.

Think you have lmao

 

I didn’t go with an a-pro because it’s double the price. I know this is still 600 under but hey, it’s 1/2 the price. It should do fine with a 5600x tbh

 

Went with the P1 due to the low price, although that is a fair point

 

The 3070 choice was just due to the price. The TUF being less is a bit null and void due too the dumpster fire that is Ampere stock.

 

I don’t really see the problem with 750W, it’s certainly a bit overkill but if OP wants to upgrade it should work well, and it’s still a good quality unit so it seems fine too me
